Good Food: Gastronomy that connects
At República del Cacao, we firmly believe in the transformative power of chocolate, especially when shared with purpose. Recently, we lived an experience that reminded us that gastronomy can be much more than flavors: it can become a bridge to inclusion, learning and hope.
Together with Fudela, Chef Ana Lobato - owner of Clara Restaurant, awarded with the prestigious "One to Watch" in the 50 Best 2024 - and the Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ), we carried out a new edition of our initiative Comida Buena: flavors that unite.
Chef Ana transmitted her story, passion and vision of gastronomy as a powerful tool for transformation to a group of men and women; Ecuadorians and migrants, in a situation of priority attention. In this workshop, chocolate became the ingredient that united, inspired and empowered the participants, while they received recipes and high-level techniques that strengthened their skills and provided them with tools to innovate, grow and professionalize their culinary projects.
These experiences inspire us to continue working for a world in which every action has a positive impact on society. At República del Cacao we believe that sharing knowledge opens doors and, when done with purpose, sows seeds of hope and transformation.
Let us continue to build together a more just and sustainable future, where chocolate and gastronomy become opportunities for all.
Together we change the world one cocoa bean at a time!
